Don't know if this has ever been on a thread before, but need to know what you think about computerized charting. We were told a month ago that this type of documentation will be installed at our hospital very soon. It would also be mandatory for the doctors to do orders on and their H&P (would be nice since they all took chicken scratch 101) They said that laptops would be in all the patients room and the documentation would be done there. Some of the nurses didn't like the idea because they said if the patient had visitors, it would be too disruptive for them to concentrate on what they are typing
So..........if anyone has this, how do you like it and does it save you time
